Abigail Deters but I felt bad for him to ask Sarah to vote for him but I think that was the wise thing for him to do he wouldn’t have won anyway if he made the end
Abigail Deters But I think if it was still him and Tony I think it wouldn’t have happened I think if Denise would have gave him her two idols maybe that would have saved him I don’t know a lot of questions I can’t explain
@@AbbyDeters2004 i'm glad that i wasn't the only one rooting for him. it sucks when the whole world seems to be against ben. both as a player and as a person too, and it just blows my mind, buts it's nice to see comments like this and know that there are people that like him. and i why would anyone hate him? just because he didn't win the game like most survivor winners have? ben playing idols constantly was him trying to stay in the game for his wife and kids
@@lafingscarecrow They threw the idol back in IMMEDIATELY lol. Plenty of reasons to believe this wasnt a thing before then. Production isn't supposed to do anything other do whatever they feel like will be entertaining. That includes rigging the game for players (also plenty of evidence to show is a thing). Love him or hate him, it's clear production wanted him to have those idols.
@@lafingscarecrow Never said he wasn't good at finding idols, but they certainly gave him greater opportunities to do it than others. He found one idol along the path when he was walking back from a confessional. Oh but it must have been a coincidence 😆.
Ben’s getting all this hate just because of the F4 twist, which isn’t his fault he was in it. Hate the game not the player. Even without that twist his win was fully deserved.
I agree to an extent. I don't think his win was fully deserved, he's out at 4 without the last minute twist so I can't call it fully deserved without the twist at all. He went to three straight tribals in the endgame as public enemy number 1 and despite having an idol in all three that no one knew about, only managed to vote out his target one time. I don't think he's that good of a player with that in mind and I can't help but feel his idol at F5 was given to him. I do agree that Ben doesn't deserve any hate at all. It's not his fault the producers did what they did. He was just the beneficiary of this godforsaken twist that should have never happened, since it tampers with the core value of the game. It's an OK twist (but still not good) if the players at least know about it up front, it's the same reason I tolerated RI seasons but the outcast twist was horrible. Likewise I can't hold his F5 idol against him. Ben imo is one of the players that has the most to prove on all winners. Some of them (Rob, Sandra, Parvati, etc.) will always have their legacies and no matter where they finish they will still be considered top level players. If Ben does extremely well in a cast of all winners I think that opinions on him as a player could change big time.
BrettMKW while I agree with you on most things I don’t think his F5 idol was “given” to him because I don’t think the producers would go out of their way and potentially ruin their reputation over something like that. I also think that he will be like a Sarah Lacina on all winners, playing as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” because he is definitely and underdog for the season
@@matteopaolillo3317 I'm undecided on that F5 idol, I just think it's an awfully big coincidence that the F5 idol was a "dig" clue that was literally at the spot Ben gave his confessionals at all season. Their reputation wouldn't be ruined as long as no one knows about it. There's other really coincidental stuff that happens in other seasons too that point to producer interference, such as All Stars tribe swap, the infamous bottle twist in Cook Islands, Thailand's fake merge, etc. Was also heavily rumored that Lex and Tom were given a spot on All Stars because of the producers screwing up the F4 immunity challenge in Africa.
BrettMKW you do have a point but idk, say someone did find out somehow, I don’t think they would risk it like that. But again either way, I think he deserved that win because like I said, he had no say in the F4 twist, and that’s the main reason people don’t like him as a winner
@@matteopaolillo3317 I mean no one can find out for sure. Production will just deny it if it's true. It's heavily speculated though, and I don't really think production rigged the firemaking challenge but they had to know Ben's idol at F5 would put him at least with a shot at fire. I think the firemaking challenge was planned from the beginning of the season but not telling the players about it in advance doesn't sit right with me. The reason I think Ben was a low tier winner is because he was a marked man at F7 and had to use three idols and get saved by a surprise firemaking twist just to make it to the end. He was an above average player, but a below average winner. There's been 38 winners (counting Sandra twice) and I could easily name at least 30 that I think had better winning games than Ben. I don't hate the guy at all and I genuinely hope he does well in all winners as I think he gets a ton of undeserved hate but I do think his win was below average. Cook Islands on the other hand I strongly believe was rigged and I don't believe anyone will change my mind on that. Believe it or not I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but CI was obvious.
A lot of people are saying that he was a bad winner because the only thing they remember is the Ben bombs but everyone is forgetting the incredible strategy in the early/ middle game
@Quin4thewin well he had joe and mike fooled pretty well, and ben's alliance was really impressed at his acting skills, and that's why they wanted to get rid of him
The rest of them are really stupid for not following him or finding it themselves and make sure he didn’t get all those idols, like they were way too comfortable so I say it’s their own fault not Ben’s
The jury hated Chrissy. Chrissy is like modern day Russell Hantz but instead of finding immunities she wins them. Ultimately survivor is a social game and Ben totally deserves the win.
Chrissy was vindictive. She was condescending to everyone who wasn't allied to her, and in the F7, she was happy see won reward, she was happy to punish Ben by not making him see his wife. She had a horrible social game.
Ben was my favorite winner. He was so hilarious and easy going even while being endlessly targeted by the others. They lied to him about getting rid of him and acted like he was crazy and he just put them in their place time after time. Loved it and truly an inspiration of a story. Even when he returned he was still a great guy and just so chill.
He's my survivor idol, because he has a true, heartfelt reason for being on survivor, his performance all game was an incredible mix of strategy and luck, and his snarky humor gets me every time.
@@MultiJejjeThat's your opinion but I won't say he is the worst winner ever when there are others who didn't deserve to win their seasons. And it was luck that stuck with Ben because he kept finding idols and he never gave up on his quest to winning. The other survivors were dumb as hell to not follow him when he goes to look for idols knowing how smart he is. That's their own fault and that's why none of the others didn't win. He deserved to win that season.
@@liyahsnubs He didn't find them. They basically were handing idols to him, one under just where he sleeps etc. People were voting him out so producers got scared because in your country you idolize veterans who go killing people to other countries in your meaningless oil wars. If some veteran wins it makes better ratings now and in the future.
people forget he was kinda running shit until people realized he would beat them. he didn't have a bad social game until literally everyone in the game didn't want to work with him so whats the point anyways lol
According to Sarah, Natalie told Ben that the jury hated him and he had no chance, because Boston Rob talked shit about him to the rest of the jury. So maybe he figured he'd help out Sarah, since he had no chance himself. it's too bad. He's a great player
@@dereklane-bell3048 That was Boston Rob? Wow. He also kinda ruined his legacy ending his Survivor career with this season, using the buddy system strategy like an idiot.
@@theobecquet8477 after the tribe swap, boston rob was on a tribe with ben and adam from his original tribe, and sarah and sophie from the other tribe. their tribe was headed to tribal council, and ben, adam, and rob all decided to vote sarah out. rob then decided to have everyone sit at camp and not have anyone talk strategy to anyone. this caused everyone to get fed up with rob, who they all thought was being a dictator. so they all decided to vote him out instead
Ben is easily one of my favorite players. If there is ever another Heroes vs Villains season, production has to try and bring him back for the Heroes Tribe.

By far my favorite player ever. One of the most dominant players in survivor history. Let's be real here. He kept himself lowkey with good alliances in the early game, played both sides effortlessly and made multiple massive moves in the mid game, and literally DID NOT SLEEP for the entire late game, had ZERO allies the whole way through, intentionally attracted votes towards him to get out players that he wanted after playing the idol, and yet came out on top. He was one block away from winning that last challenge, could've called it quits there but picked himself up and beasted his way through the fire making challenge to come in clutch with the win. Not to mention how great of a dude he is. He's awesome.
I like all the ben love on this video. I just watched 35 and thought he was awesome. Everyone had a shot at his advantages he just took advantage of them first.
When u reach a point in the game with Everyone and i mean Everyone trying to get you out and you still manage to make it to the end then i don't care what you say you defintely deserve the win just like Ben did. Not to mention how he successfully played 3 idols perfectly
13:30 Anyone else notice that he when to the military attention stance One of the first things you learn in boot camp is how to make fire as i had no dought ben would win that challenge He deserved this victory and please let him win the 4pth season as well
I remember watching that episode live with the fire challenge, I knew he had it in the bag, but damn how lucky he got with that advantage being the one played that night, incredible
Ben: "You start doing this.." Chrissy: "Doing what?" B: "It's the game of Survivor..." C: "Okay goodnight" B: "Okay night night" idek why but I died at that part lol
The other players deserved their fate of losing to ben's bombs, they got way too comfortable when they knew they had numbers and didn't even attempt to look for idols in the last few tribals. If you're gonna be mad at him as a winner, focus it on the other players that let him endlessly search with no competition.
I literally love Ben. He saved himself four or five times in a row at the end and never gave up, I think he totally deserved his win. He’s my vote to win season 40,
The other castaways built Ben up by only targeting him. They should've been trying to build their own resume and let Ben play idols on himself with no votes.
He’s honestly a really great winner. He played very good in the outwit, outplay, and outlast part on Survivor. Played a great game pre merge forming the connections he needed and was safe pretty much the whole way through even at swap. Start of merge he played well and he and Lauren went with the heroes and hustlers and blindsided Jessica. He was seen as a big threat to the Healers after that and still stayed alive. He was being viewed as a huge contender to win since the merge vote and nobody targeted him until F7 which he made sure he was prepared for. He probably didn’t even need the F6 idol but finding idols and advantages are apart of the game and he’s the one who has gotten them because he worked his ass off to get it. That just adds to his gameplay that he found 3 freaking idols that’s amazing. Ben is a very great and solid winner. And the hypocrisy with some of these survivor fans because if he would’ve lost people would’ve said he’s one of the best to never win but now that he’s won everyone is complaining just to complain.
it sucks when people don't want to credit him finding idols on his own. i mean they'll credit chrissy for winning immunities non-stop, and i truly respect that, but ben fought just as hard as chrissy to stay. and maybe he got lucky with the fire making challenge at the end, but ben just benefited from what the game put in. i think that people say it's rigged to feel better that chrissy didn't win, but the people who think that aren't using real logic.
Ben is in my top five favorite winners of Survivor. Everyone wanted him gone and he outplayed every single one of them. He kept his cool and dominated this game. No one deserved it more than him. I support Ben's win 100%. His Tribal councils are some of my favorite. He used the immunity idol and wielded power like no one i've ever seen. Well done Ben!
Ben is one of my favorite players to win this game. I don’t care what people say about him, he is a good person and a caring man, who served in the Marines to fight and defend our country. He deserved to win
Ok for those of you who said that he had a rigged game, first of all it was his teammates fault for not looking for an idol before he found one they just slept there and stuff, two how do u know that the producers wanted him to win. Proof because if there is show it to me. Third it was the jury’s decision. We’re u frikin there to vote him out? I don’t think so, so shut up
Edwin ZOU it his teammates fault for not looking for idols in my opinion. They just sat there on the beach relaxing being like, “Oh yeah we can get him out easily”. The fire making challenge wouldn’t have even made a difference if they didn’t look for idols.
i'm glad to see someone else believe it's not rigged. that whole thing is bullshit and honestly people only say that because they think chrissy got robbed, but whether or not it was ben or devon sitting at the final 3, she wasn't going to win anyway
yeah I dont think it was rigged at all. like in cagayan why would they do the final 2 it almost screwed tony. Sometimes twists just happen and he took advantage of it. he went looking for idols and beat out a ton of other people looking at a group by waking up early. before the 7 he was always in the majority until they realized he was too good and he had to win out using advantages.
@@theshinythings123 thank you. another person who actually makes sense regarding that season. honestly i think people just wanna say it was rigged because there pissed that chrissy and devon lost, and they refuse to look at common sense
i agree. he could've been like colton in one world and blood vs water and just quit, but he didn't. that's what makes him a great player. i think that he's inspiring to all of us to never give up, even when all hope seems lost
Lafing Scarecrow Absolutely. However, survivor fans who don’t really understand the game tend to be the ones that spout things like this. Talk to any Russel hantz fan, and they’ll tell you “he was robbed twice, the jury was bitter” without understanding that’s the reason he never won. Every winner deserves to win. Can you argue that someone deserved to win “more”? Absolutely. But if someone won, they deserved it. As for Ben in particular, he’s one of the greatest winners of all time. This guy had to win immunities / play idols 4 tribals in a row in order to make it to the final 4. Then he had to be picked for the fire making challenge (which, is not his fault he got picked) and win the fire making twist (only easy part, he was clearly going to win as a vet, it’s one of the first things you learn in the military) and then he has to win the votes, which was going to be difficult with Chrissy there.
@@WhoStoleMyNachos i like the way you think. and people can argue that chrissy was robbed, but whether or not ben or devon made it to the f3, one of them was winning
his season was the first full season i've ever watched. so i haven't watched much of the traditional survivor seasons, but ben is still my favorite player
@@lolnotwoody1 I like Tony a lot, him being from the town over from me in Jersey. Tony is one of the best players for sure . For myself , Ben is the Best , he’s very Tactical in his Execution , I’m a Vet as well and the way he carries himself is just Amazing 🙏💙🇺🇸❤️🙏
You're right about Chrissy being arrogant, but Ben was right next to her on that department. He was cocky and sometimes humilliating with his bombs (I mean, what did Ashley did to him to receive that treatment?)
RedxZone They barley tried. if they really wanted him gone, they would’ve found idols before he could and played a better game. Ben is one of the best winners in my book
The other contestants had the same opportunity to find the “just idols”. Or take shifts following him to prevent or find the idol first. Ben had better play than all of them
I get why people complain over the fire challenge but honestly I think it’s fine, everyone should be able to make fire? Prove yourself and take control of your own fate in the fire challenge
The question isn’t “Can you make fire?” It’s “Can you make fire faster than a US Marine?” This is someone whose job for years required him to perform the task in question. It’s like asking “Can you score more goals than David Beckham in a shootout?” or “Can you cook more than Gordon Ramsey in 30 minutes?”
there's one person who had a big hand in ben's win, and it's the person who wanted ben out the most, and that's dr. mike. because had mike not played his idol at the cole vote, there wouldn't have been an idol for ben to find and use at the right time. mike foolishly playing his idol hurt him way more than people think.
He found too many idols and got bailed out by a twist, but it's not his fault he didn't sleep and was finding idols in the dark and being able to make fire in 20 seconds lol.
It's funny how people thinks no one else try to find idols or follow Ben just bcos they nvr show it. Ppl did try to find and even follow Ben and somehow only he found the idols.
@@yugiwinninglex 1. tony never won immunity in cagayan. 2. i'm talking about how they managed to find idols just as easily as ben did. the point i'm trying to make is that some players like ben are just better at finding idols than a typical survivor player
This was an interesting season, although I didn’t like the winner. I think Chrissy had a compelling story in both the outwit & outplay portion. She was in a good alliance, she communicated with a lot of people, and she tied the record for wins among women. Her failure was that she didn’t present this to the jury as clear as possible. I also think this is a good lesson for future players, whenever you have a shot to take out the big target, do it! Because soon that opportunity closes, like how it did with Ben.
Damn why didn’t you include the part where asks ash and dev if they want to be in the f5 and then plays his idol before the votes.. otherwise great vid
He's not a terrible player, but will go down as one of the weakest survivor winners. He started out strong, but made a series of mistakes that would've cost him if it wasn't for the crazy amount of idols planted for him to find. Also, that final twist was the ultimate bs in a season already filled with way too many advantages and idols. Say what you will about people like Fabio and Natalie, at least they didn't idol their way to the finish.
